| Key Applications |
|
| Application Notes | Western blot: 1:100-1:500 using ECL. Suggested dilution buffer is PBS and blocking buffer is PBS containing 5% milk. Recognizes 36 kDa monomers, dimmers and trimers depending on sample preparation. Boiling induces the aggregation of rhodopsin. Western blot of isolated bovine rod outer segment labeled for rhodopsin (~85% of rod outer segment protein) with the rho 1D4 antibody. Amount of rod outer segments applied to the SDS gel: (a) 2.5 mg; (b) 0.63 mg; (c) 0.16 mg; (d) 0.04 mg. At higher protein quantities, dimers, trimers and tetramers of rhodopsin can be observed along with the monomer. Immunohisto/cytochemistry: 1:100-1:500 on paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde fixed frozen tissue sections. Preferred fixation is paraformaldehyde for 4 hours at 2-8°C. Suggested permeabilization method is 0.2% Triton X-100. Immunoprecipitation Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | Retinitis pigmentosa is an inherited progressive disease which is a major cause of blindness in western communities. It can be inherited as an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive disorder. In the autosomal dominant form,which comprises about 25% of total cases, approximately 30% of families have mutations in the gene encoding the rod photoreceptor-specific protein rhodopsin. This is the transmembrane protein which, when photoexcited, initiates the visual transduction cascade. Defects in this gene are also one of the causes of congenital stationary night blindness. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P08100 # Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth. Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change leading to G-protein activation and release of all-trans retinal. SIZE: 348 amino acids; 38893 Da SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Rod shaped photoreceptor cells which mediates vision in dim light. PTM: Phosphorylated on some or all of the serine and threonine residues present in the C-terminal region. DISEASE: SwissProt: P08100 # Defects in RHO are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 4 (RP4) [MIM:180380]. RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP4 inheritance is autosomal dominant. & Defects in RHO are a cause of retinitis pigmentosa autosomal recessive (ARRP) [MIM:268000]. & Defects in RHO are a cause of autosomal dominant congenital stationary night blindness 1 (CSNBAD1) [MIM:610445]; also known as rhodopsin-related congenital stationary night blindness. Congenital stationary night blindness is a nonprogressive retinal disorder characterized by impaired night vision and ocular symptoms such as myopia, hyperopia, nystagmus and reduced visual acuity. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P08100 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Opsin subfamily. |
